Instantor has expanded its network of stockists for its R-Press fittings.

The range is now available through RSL GROUP Wholesalers, who specialise in supplying air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pump, tools and accessory products to the trade.

Established in 1946, RSL GROUP distributes over 30 leading brands and has multiple branches strategically located across the UK and Ireland, including London, Manchester, Coventry, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Galway and Cork.

Instantor R-Press fittings are designed to provide a quick and secure way to join pipework in high-pressure applications, up to 48 bar, including refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps (refrigeration side), and variable flow systems. Transitioning to press fittings can be a game-changer for ACR installers, as they are flame-free, which eliminates the need for hot work permits or fire watches, and lengthy risk assessments are also reduced. This results in quicker installations, less downtime, and safer working conditions, especially in tight spaces.

Seamus Kerr, Managing Director, RSL GROUP Wholesalers, said: “RSL GROUP is forging a new era in refrigeration and air conditioning, driven by innovative engineering, profound knowledge, and reliable delivery. Our success has been built on our ability to call upon extensive in-house expertise and our team of ACR specialists to provide customers with the products and service they can rely on. Instantor has a very similar reputation for innovation, quality and service, and we are delighted to extend our portfolio with the addition of the R-Press fittings range.”

Tom Dickson, National Sales Manager, Instantor, said: “R-Press fittings have proven extremely popular since being launched at InstallerSHOW 2025. We’re thrilled to have agreed a new partnership with RSL GROUP who share very similar values to our own. With our 100-year heritage, and RSL GROUP having operated for 80 years, both companies have built long-lasting and trusted partnerships within the industry. We’re delighted that our latest collaboration is with one another and we look forward to working with the RSL GROUP team in the coming months and harnessing our collective expertise.”
